[@bellycuda]

This man doesn't sing songs, he makes you feel every single word!

[@wilane9179]

Exactly! ❤

[@thedopestdude8643]

History is in the top 5 songs of all time list. It’s a masterpiece

[@markdye5332]

It’s my number 1 of all time

[@dontassumemyfender9866]

You're right, it is a masterpiece. Inspired by the late poet William Blake who he mentioned at the start. His poem is "London."

[@Cheebaroni812]

Agreed. It’s a perfect song

[@adamtier3263]

Agreed ❤

Richard has never lost his integrity despite his peers rising and falling from grace.RA has remained a true legend that I will celebrate for years.From Ireland

Me n the Girlies, are seeing him in Manchester, in October. I'll be crying my eyes out again, at his lyrics n velvet voice 😭 😢

[@d.beauchamp3893]

I'm left speechless by his performance that speaks volumes.

[@RollmeoneKenobi420]

Sonnet is one of the best songs ever written I'm so glad we were blessed with the existence of Richard Ashcroft ❤

[@emmawilliams1776]

His words, sang acoustically. Just him and his guitar. No artist of this generation could understand

[@garybalfour3953]

History 1 of the best songs you will ever hear from Richard Ashcroft 👌

[@kierhudson1328]

Can't be said to be true, he blew the top off the 90's and came back and screwed the rest of the garbage in todays market.

[@obsolise8063]

Actual genius - he makes it look easy!! Best voice in the longest time…

[@delaniho]

Just a man and his guitar, it doesn't get much pure then this. Love his work......

[@davidramirez150]

Two of my favorite songs from The Verve.Simply Glorious

[@obsolise8063]

He doesn’t need anything at all, just him n his amazing voice - real talent, real genius…

[@blackholesupersloth3276]

Wow... what an amazing ARTIST. Is there anyone else that sings exactly the same as you hear on the album? And while playing guitar..... by himself..... unreal.

[@DaveTaste]

Loads of people tbh

[@emmy.flutt3rshy]

There is seriously nobody better. So very talented.

[@MrShahid0072]

There is.. a legend known as Thom Yorke!

[@emanuelanemor1150]

for the best song - writer in the world: YOU MADE THE HISTORY

[@beebeelicious]

As soon as I heard the opening bars I began to weep. History is up there for me. It tells my story. Sonnet finished me off ❤️

[@paulnocher539]

Fuckin hear r brother a song writing God

[@angelaligay9766]

Pero una de las mejores, y la banda sonora de nuestras vidas.

[@cyclingartist6827]

Great band, but I don't remember them being underrated?

[@CliveNeo]

Stunning performance as usual, strange how even Richard Ashcroft's most depressing songs make me feel so much better when I'm down myself. Cheers Rich, though we've never met you and the rest of the verve don't know how much you've helped through the years. I've given over bothering about how few views such a talent gets, it's their loss and our gain, like an exclusive club.

[@jamiestevens5598]

Hey man! I hear you are you okay mate

[@Svetlana-ks7ie]

Thank you very much Richard! 😍🥰

[@Trix7erTv]

Everyone on earth needs to hear this.. And when they all do... Earth will be a better place to live in

Indeed

[@kristensansky1658]

I know right♥️

[@hyland1984]

pure brilliance. imagine walking into a boozer & hearing a chap with a guitar playing this good. I think this the standard musicians should be aiming for...

[@jaspurr77]

His guitar playing is terrible..I can't honestly listen to it..History was great because his voice was more prominent..but it sounds like a shoebox with six elastic bands

[@jake_storton]

F*cking legend

[@dianeclaytondunn6443]

he certainly is

[@petermowat158]

the guy knows what he is doing magic

[@ybmgn]

Whenever I listen to his music or live performances, I feel something in the middle of my body slowly start to burn like bornfire or whatever. Though there are a lot of lines that i can't understand. He's a soul musician i think.

[@Nixonesque]

I will never get over the love I feel because of this man and this music.

[@rustyj5092]

Gritty, earthy, from the heart, and fine songwriting skills . It`s talent on display in its finest form.

[@kristensansky1658]

I love you Richard, I am mesmerized by your presence and that voice only gets better with age. I can't take my eyes off you want you to "sing in my ear again" ♥️
